Abstract

This paper proposes a group (or inter-destination) synchronization control scheme for haptic media in networked virtual environments where multiple users manipulate CG objects collaboratively in a 3-D virtual space by using force feedback devices. For group synchronization of haptic media, we enhance the synchronization maestro scheme, which the authors previously proposed for voice and video, so as to adjust the output timing of haptic media among the users. The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by experiment.
